RE: Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport Airport Layout Plan Conditional Approval
Dear Mr. Swafford:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), through its State Block Grant Program agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation, conditionally approves the Airport Layout Plan (ALP) for the Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport. This approval is subject to the following conditions:
-
Facilities and equipment are designed and constructed in accordance with current FAA Advisory Circulars and Orders, and coordinated with FAA Tech Ops;
-
All known obstructions to the future runway ends will be mitigated as proposed at the next airport improvement project, or as soon as practical, and all known potential man-made obstructions will be submitted for obstruction evaluation via FAA Form 7460-1 online at https://oeaaa.faa.gov/;
-
An aeronautical survey is submitted and accepted via FAA Airports GIS and instrument approach procedures are requested with FAA Flight Procedures in advance of anticipated runway construction affecting the threshold locations;
-
FAA Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration, must be filed with the FAA online at https://oeaaa.faa.gov/ at least 60 days prior to the start of any airport construction in order to receive an airspace determination, and the recommendations of the determination are implemented; and
-
Our office should be notified at least five days prior to runway construction activity to facilitate with FAA Flight Procedures in issuing applicable FDC NOTAMS. Local NOTAMS indicating any construction activity should be issued 72 hours prior to start of construction.
Our conditional approval of the Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport ALP indicates all existing and proposed airport development shown meets current FAA airport design standards, as documented in FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5300-13Aovington MunicipalNorthwest
, Airport Design, and that this office finds the proposed airport development shown on the plan useful and efficient. It is important to note, however, our approval does not represent a commitment to provide federal or state financial assistance in implementing any facilities shown on the plan, and does not imply we concur with justification for construction of any proposed airport development at this time.
As always, we look forward to working with Paulding County and the Paulding County Airport Authority in the continued development of the Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport. If you have any questions, please contact Katie Eleam, our Aviation Planner, at 404.631.1345 or seleam@dot.ga.gov.
Sincerely,
Carol L. Comer, Director
